Las Vegas, NV (February 15, 2013) – Phoenix Gold® representatives used the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as the backdrop to formally recognize a select group of retailers and distributors that had gone “above and beyond” in promoting the brand and contributing to its continued success in the prior year. Of the group recognized, Russian company TRIA International, Ltd. stood out, being named the brand’s “Distributor of the Year” for 2012.

Founded in 1991, TRIA International is Russia’s leading mobile audio and electronics distributor, and has been the exclusive distributor of Phoenix Gold products in Russia for more than 10 years. Steve Wenig and Marina Likhov from TRIA International were on hand at the show and received the Distributor of the Year award from Sergio DeOliveira, Vice President of Sales at Phoenix Gold parent company, AAMP of America (as seen in the attached photograph).

According to Mr. DeOliveira, “In recognition of their dedication to the brand, we are proud to name TRIA International the Phoenix Gold Distributor of the Year for 2012. Our friends in Russia have been an outstanding partner, showing 100% support for the brand; and their aggressive marketing approach has pushed Phoenix Gold to the number one position among American brands in Russia. We congratulate them and look forward to our accomplishments together in 2013 and beyond.”

Speaking about the award and their role as a Phoenix Gold distributor, Steve Wenig of TRIA International said, “We are extremely pleased to receive this recognition of last year’s achievements. But, it can’t go without saying, that none of it would have been possible without Phoenix Gold’s strong commitment to the Russian market and excellent support of our efforts. We at TRIA International are looking forward to what we will achieve in 2013 in partnership with our friends at Phoenix Gold.”
